Starting a series called “when in the USA”.

Example 1. At the Dallas airport you can buy a 1 GALLON bag to fill with your choice of pop.

Jellies shoes at the exhibition. Two pairs on display: candy red in the foreground and gold in the background. Jellies shoes look like netted plastic moulded into flats.

Jellies were one of those shoes that all the it-girls had. I never did because my mom thought they looked like cheap plastic shoes! And now they’re back in style, with some being sold at over £800!

A picture of my mom in a mall-styled space where shoes are exhibited behind a large glass vitrine. She is looking at shoes in the “dressed for success” theme.
